Another year has come and gone. Lots of folks have offered opinions on the past year, but this one is a little closer to the BGP family. Mark & Jacob recap their own year with a surprise guest appearance at the end. Ready for 2017!

Okay, we'll do one that is seasonally appropriate. Hear how Mark & Jacob count down the days until Christmas. It's out of this world! Merry Christmas! #Christmas #Lego #StarWars

I am with the Force and the Force is with me. This Christmas, the Force is once again with all of us as we are treated to another Star Wars movie. If I had to review it in one word, it would be: Vader. Fortunately Jacob & eventually Kim join me for a slightly more verbose spoiler-free review. #StarWars #RogueOne #Vader

So, to be completely mismatched with the seasons, Mark did the post-production on this episode while in a tornado warning. That's a first for BGP. But thinking more of winter than spring, Kailey has been bugging us since Halloween to put up the Christmas lights. They're up--hear what she has to say about them!

Sort of a follow on to BGP 90, it's birthday time for Luke! He offers some great tips if you want to throw a skeleton party. Also find out what really creeps Mark out! #skeleton #birthday

Halloween special! Have you ever wondered how to make a great skeleton costume? We've got the answer. Plus find out why my co-host is months behind on listening to the show. #skeleton #costume

Part permanent world's fair, part tomorrowland. It's been a long time since Mark had been there, the first time for Luke & the gang. They were pleasantly surprised by the improvements they've made over the years. Mark & Luke review the park and some of the cooler attractions. Oh, and it was the day after Hurricane Matthew rolled past Orlando. How's that for interesting? #Epcot

What's an Octonaut? The Octonauts is an animated BBC TV series about a group of animals that explore undersea and help aquatic life forms. Kailey is hooked on it--so much that she's planning her Octonaut birthday for months. She describes the food, activities and decorations. If you're planning an Octonaut party, listen in to find out. #Octonauts

Competitive target shooting has been a part of Mark's life as long as he can remember. With his sons growing up, it was time to get a starter rifle for them to build the fundamentals of target shooting. Many reviews led him to the CZ 455. Listen in to see how it worked out! This will be the first in a series of non-consecutive episodes on target shooting. They'll be mainly centered around International 3 & 4 position, national match course and CMP shorter matches. More to follow over the coming months. #shooting #CZ-USA

Cool your jets, man! I think Bart Simpson was probably talking about classic cars. In this episode, Mark continues his how-to series with a brief recap of how a newer more efficient fan motor in your air conditioner can make a big difference in the car's temperature. It's inexpensive and easy fix, only one gotcha to watch out for--listen in and find out because it will save you half the time!

Famous line from Rat Race, a classic film. This is a brief follow-up to episode 4, our first published episode. We get all 5 co-hosts together to recap the race we've just run. Apologies for the occasional bumps in audio quality on this one--I didn't catch them during recording, but I found the cause and will fix it in the future.

Welcome to the Dresden Files. Mark & Jacob have been in the habit of listening to audio books while driving around. Their latest was an anthology of three stories from the Dresden Files series. It was so good they downloaded another--tune in to find out why! #WorkingForBigfoot #DresdenFiles

As promised in episode 71, Mark, Jacob & Kim get together to reminisce over their favorite hits from the small screen. Jacob mentions Mighty Med. Mark & Kim mention a lot of BBC shows. Jacob talks some more about Mighty Med. Mark & Kim revisit a few classics from the 80s & 90s. Did I mention Jacob and Mighty Med. What's your favorite?

One of Mark's original ideas for an episode. Mark, Kim & Jacob list their favorite movies and offer a few thoughts on each. Actually, only Mark & Jacob do that. Kim doesn't have favorite movies, she just likes a couple that the other two mention. #Movie

Looking for some exercise, an excuse to get the kids out of the house and good family fun? Then pick up an elegant weapon from a more civilized age! Mark and Jacob share their adventures and excitement from years of light saber battles. May the Force be with you. #StarWars #LightSaber

Another episode that I've wanted to do since the beginning of the show. This is the story of my '74 VW Beetle. It's the first car in which I ever rode, and I'm pretty sure it's a part of my soul. Several hundred thousand miles and a few adventures later, it made it's way onto the podcast. Fellow bug owners, check it out--it's the bugcast.

Ever been a Tiger Cub Scout? Luke is! He and Mark had a great weekend with many other Tiger Cub Scouts. Great outdoor fun and Scout achievements all around. Scout events like this one are a great way to knock out a bunch of rank requirements quickly and have some quality family time.

BGP has a new co-host! Mark and his oldest daughter recap a great Valentine's day event. If you're a Dad with daughters and you've never been to one of these, I highly recommend it--we've got some great memories. Check it out on episode 61.

As promised way back in Episode 13, Mark talks about his 1976 Chevy Stepside, what he's done to it over the years and some fond memories. If you've got a classic pickup that you're excited about too, go over to the website and tell Mark about it.

After all this time it's finally here! Well, we didn't get there on opening night, but we saw it the first weekend. Mark & the gang review the latest film to arrive from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. Just remember, it's 12, not 14 parsecs, and that's not how the force works.
